I'd call this 'misjudgement' because you assumed you were talking to someone rational and sane, who turned out to be the opposite, temporarily or otherwise. It's sometimes hard to tell, we naturally assume that others aren't bonkers. | |

| Oct 15, 2013 at 1:33 | comment | added | user39425 | @BraddSzonye That is close, but I was thinking more along the lines that the person you are talking to is crazy too. | |
| Oct 15, 2013 at 1:22 | comment | added | B. Szonye | This situation is commonly called talking past each other. I'm not aware of a word specifically for the realization that you're doing it. | |
